  • Patent number: 8895236
    Abstract: A red blood cell storage composition includes a composition of red blood cells and biochemistry altering reagents, the biochemistry altering reagents being present at a concentration so as to reduce the percent hemolysis of the red blood cells during the freeze-thaw cycle below that of the percent hemolysis of the red blood cells in the absence the biochemistry altering reagents. The red blood cell storage composition preferably includes reagents selected from: modifiers of glycolytic/metabolic components, modifiers of antioxidant potential, effectors of intracellular ionic distribution, modifiers of membrane fluidity, modifiers of cytoskeletal structure, effectors of the cyclooxygenase second messenger pathway, effectors of the lipoxygenase second messenger pathway, effectors of the hexose monophosphate second messenger pathway, effectors of the phosphorylation second messenger pathway, modifiers of specific messenger molecules, and combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 7255357
    Abstract: A suspension for, and a method for suspending, a vehicle having a body is provided. The suspension includes a first suspension assembly and a second suspension assembly. The first suspension assembly extends between a first surface contact assembly and the body, and the second suspension assembly extends between a second surface contact assembly and the body. The first and second suspension assemblies each have a transverse instant center. The first suspension assembly and the second suspension assembly are aligned so that a vertical centerline of each surface contact assembly lies within a transverse vertical plane that extends therebetween. The transverse instant center of each suspension assembly is located within the transverse vertical plane, below a roll center located within the transverse vertical plane.

  • Publication number: 20040046350
    Abstract: A suspension for a vehicle having a body includes a first wheel assembly suspension that extends between a wheel assembly and the body and defines a first suspension plane. The suspension further includes a second wheel assembly suspension that extends between the wheel assembly and the body and defines a second suspension plane. A vertical plane extends through a vertical centerline of the wheel assembly and the intersection between the vertical plane and the first suspension plane defines a first line. The intersection between the vertical plane and the second suspension plane also defines a second line, the first line and the second line intersecting at an instant center that lies below a roll center of the vehicle. The first wheel assembly suspension and the second wheel assembly suspension do not cross one another when the first wheel assembly is viewed from either the front of rear of the vehicle.
